A drifter is a buoyant surface float tethered to a weighted sea anchor, called a drogue, that hangs about 50 feet (15 meters) below the surface. The anchor lets the float track the water’s motion ...
Researchers have combined satellite measurements with underwater robot profiles to map vertical ocean currents plunging more ...
Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...
